Miguel Garcia took a few steps before collapsing in the 61st minute of Sunday's game against Real Betis. Medical staff revived the 31-year-old on the field as players and officials watched on, with several of his teammates weeping.
Garcia is recovering in the hospital after going into cardiac arrest during a Spanish league second-division game.
Salamanca says Garcia's recovery was progressing "favorably" as he undergoes tests at Salamanca's University Hospital.
